Southern Oregon Report by Andrew Harris

My good luck continued today on the Upper Rogue River. I fished with Jordan Harris, an independent guide from Ashland who has hundreds of Upper Rogue steelhead trips under his belt. It's a bit early for steelhead, but we decided to give it our best shot today. We had plenty of action on steelhead smolts and small rainbows up to 12" throughout the day. By 10am we had landed a couple of small steelhead in the 18-21" range. Around 11am we found the real deal, a nice 5 pound fish that was holding in a choppy riffle.Jordan has availability on the Upper Rogue and the Klamath Basin. On the Rogue, Jordan offers both nymph/indicator trips and spey-only trips. To check his schedule, click here. Jordan is really fun to spend a day with and he is very dedicated to his craft. We're looking forward to working with him!

Klamath Basin Report by Andrew Harris

I spent the day fishing the Klamath Basin with Craig Schuhmann, a local to Klamath Falls who has been guiding in the Klamath Basin since 2004. And what a day it was! We fished small leech patterns and nymphs on clear intermediate lines all day. I don't think I've ever had so many hookups on sinking lines in a single day of fishing as I did today! We found some fish that were very grabby. The bite was great at first light and didn't let up. Things got even easier mid-day as a light breeze put some chop on the water. The fish in the photo was big, but I hooked and lost another that was considerably larger.Craig has open dates between now and the end of September. He says that September is his favorite month to fish the Klamath Basin. To check his schedule, click here.

Northern California Report by Andrew Harris

Fishing is good in northern California right now! I spent a day in the Redding area with fellow guide Luke Geraty today and we caught some very nice wild rainbows. Our Yuba River guides have reported good a good hopper grab on many of their recent trips. Fall River is fishing well with light pressure and quality fish spread out throughout the river system. We expect good fishing to continue throughout the fall. Fall-run king salmon will be spawning in a month. With a bigger fall run this year, we're expecting great egg-drop action on the Lower Sac, Yuba, Feather, and Trinity.
